Team (n.): One or more humans committed to each other and to achieving a common goal
Does your team function like a well-oiled machine?
Of course it doesn’t! Because your team members aren’t parts of a machine – they’re humans. Complex humans who think, feel, and behave in a variety of different and unique ways. Human-centered organizations recognize, honor, and celebrate these differences that show up in the way people make decisions, build relationships, create influence, and get work done.
Every person on your team brings something unique and valuable to the table.
As you create opportunities for your people to discover and develop their natural talents into strengths, their self-awareness increases and so does their confidence and performance. Gallup reports that people who focus on using their strengths every day are SIX TIMES more likely to be engaged in their jobs. The significance here is undeniable with 2021 studies showing that 65% of human beings are NOT actively engaged at work.
When teams are made up of individuals who appreciate the unique contributions each person brings to the team and respect the needs of each other, magic happens on the team and for the organization!
Who am I? Who are you? Who are we? Teams that intentionally examine these questions with positive intent, build trust, connection, and unity that leads to higher levels of engagement. Gallup research shows that teams who focus on their strengths have 12.5% greater productivity. What’s even more inspiring is that the number increases to 21% for actively engaged teams.
Rather than asking your team to become part of “the machine,” we celebrate individuality and champion your team members to become more open and confident about who they are—while doing the same for others. We help individuals and teams play to their strengths and bring their best selves to work every day.
Develop High Performing Teams with CliftonStrengths
Our team development workshops are based on the CliftonStrengths assessment. Not only will team members learn about their individual talents—but they’ll develop a new shared understanding and appreciation for each other’s unique talents as well.
Strengths-based development provides teams with a common language for recognizing what each person brings to a team and what they need from the team, their leader, and their work to stay engaged and thrive at work every day. This increased awareness equips teams for deeper connection, better collaboration, and higher levels of individual and group performance.
Team Development Workshops
We take a “whole human” approach to team development.
This approach provides both the individual and collective team growth that are necessary to become a high-performing team. As each person gains more self-awareness about who they are, where they shine, and ways to grow, there is an opportunity to share these learnings. This reciprocal exchange allows them to know and care about each other as whole human beings, understand and leverage each other's strengths, and grow in extraordinary ways as a team.
We offer half-day and full-day workshops for teams, both online and in-person.
As you and your team develop your emotional intelligence through these workshops, you will be amazed as you transform into a high-performing team unified by trust, respect, and a genuine commitment to each other and your collective success.

Jessi is an excellent facilitator! She's helped me run and facilitate countless learning and development classes throughout the past few years and she always delivers. Jessi gets people to open up but she also challenges them to think new and differently. She's a natural at helping people understand themselves and their actions at a deeper level. I would highly recommend her.

Jessi was a fantastic facilitator at a recent wine country offsite. I highly recommend her consulting for all professionals seeking to enhance their strengths, identify their areas for self-awareness and have fun while doing the hard work required for growth. Her ability to engage our women entrepreneurs offsite was impressive as we are a diverse and dynamic group. I look forward to having Jessi facilitate another workshop for us in the Fall.

Jessi is a deep subject matter in the area of CliftonStrengths. I’ve received one on one coaching and participated in team workshops with her. Combining Strengths with coaching sessions has really helped me better understand myself but it has also helped me understand how to approach my team and coworkers based on their unique strengths. It has unlocked another dimension for me that I did not have before Jessie was my coach. I would highly recommend Jessie and gladly work with her again.
